I think it's a great vid. For starters I LOVE the Matrix references, cause I'm a huge matrix fan. the gainer off the railing is sick sick sick!! I was slightly disapointed to see some old footage in there, but I guess if this is your first vid that people see than it's still very good stuff, so it has it's place. I have to say that the handstands, while they are impressive as hell, are not fun to watch for the whole thing, I think it's a tricky one, because if you show it for 3 seconds it's not impressive, but if you show it for 10 it's boring (to me anyway) - what if you show the handstand (or handwalking) at the beginning of the escalator or stairs, then speed up the motion through the rest of the clip, this lets someone know the duration, without having to "sit through it". Just an idea. I also feel there are too many wallflips, but that's me, there are some great ones in there, new and old, and some variations, but they are still wallflips, if I had to guess, I'd say there are 25, although I didn't even try to count There's an awesome run where someone runs up a steep part of a roof which you can tell is too steep to use no hands, but they pull it off anyway, that was cool. I ran into the problem of my short attention span, but I've said that many times, I'd rather see a 2 1/2 minute video than a 3,4, or 5 minute video any day, I think it leaves you wanting more instead of feeling full Nice work, another quality vid.

in my opinion it was all good, I didn't get bored at all. I think the Team Evo vids aim is to display their skills, not make a edited video master piece with great variety of locations and consistent one off moves. Its starting to annoy me now that people have nothing to say about Team Evo's moves, so they move onto the footage, I mean come on, whats next, the music...the amount of god d**n pixles on the screen?....the title of the movie?!....jesus. Their video's are flawless, get over it. ::edit:: Also about the handstand bit, they fit in very well with the rest of the video, if you notice all of these things are going on, then bang, piano solo and one man on his own doing a hand stand, the music was representing stillness, it brought balance to the rest of the track... the moment the piano solo stops, its all action again, which I found very effective.

Uhm ...
I did have something to say about the moves, I said they were great.
I'm sorry that you can't seem to discern a difference of opinion from your own without feeling personally attacked or like the other person is wrong or bad.
And yes, the music is open for comment, as well as quality, and everything else in a video. A video contains all of these elements, and by posting it on the internet, presumably someone is looking for, or should know that they will be getting- comments on it.
I see YOUR point about the handstands, and I understand that it is different from mine. I made a comment about it that I thought was a constructive comment, about how I felt about it.

Also, why are you commenting on my comments instead of just commenting on the video? Did I ask for your opinion of my opinion? To me, my comments were all 100% dead on, what's next? Will you start talking about the font I use, the color of the text I post?

I'd like to add for anyone else viewing my comments that my comments come from this perspective: A video is meant to be enjoyable for the viewer. In my opinion, to be enjoyable it must not only show movement (which all of your videos do quite well) but it must be a complete package (as I think you know, you add music, change the tempo, etc).
My comments are all meant in a constructive way, that is, if you took heed of my comments, it would make the video more enjoyable for me, obviously I can't and don't pretend to speak for everyone.

Did I ask for your opinion of my opinion?" No need to be rude, and looking back, I dont think anybody asked for your opinion either... this is a forum, people voice their opinions, show some more respect please. It would be awsome if we left this conversation here, its not heading to a good place and we'd all hate it if this smart community got ruined by a few UF gimps. Could someone lock this topic down please ?

"UF diss people like Danny and Team Evo because they out class UF in every area. UF krew are using parkour to become a cooperate sellout."
... you're asking me to show respect for you? Where would you have earned that?

"UF krew and a bunch of f**king pricks. Trying to make people believe that they are helping to spread the word of parkour when they are just monopolising parkour and trying to become some f**king corporate sellouts."
Perhaps this is why I should respect you?

Abdul, I am speaking to Graftin obviously!!! ? He is the only person to reply to my post, who else would I be speaking to? In it he makes direct references to my post, which means he is commenting on my post.

You should respect me because im right, and the truth hurts. Even though I think you guys are ass holes, I still have respect in talking to you, if we dont have respect for one another then we are nothing more then dogs. Anyway, nothing can be acomplished here, so lets just set aside our differences. There are bigger problems going on in the world and this isnt worth the trouble. So good luck to you and UF in your future.

Dont feel sad Alucard, just let it blow your mind, absorb the insperation. Becoz of that vid I went to the gym and nailed a front flip to monkey, to front flip, to cartwheel to round-off. The vid made my push myself more.
